Family makes plea over missing grandmother

THE family of a missing grandmother have made an emotional appeal for her to return home.

Linda MacDougall, 56, was last seen at her home in Alloa, Clackmannanshire, on the morning of 27 February.

Mrs MacDougall missed Mother’s Day with her son Scott, 30, and daughter Laura, 28. The missing woman is also grandmother to Cara and Corey, both aged three.

Police say that her disappearance is completely out of character and they fear for her safety in the cold weather.

Speaking at a media conference yesterday, her husband Willie, 56, said: “You are the loving and caring centre of the family.”

The distraught grandfather pleaded for any information on his wife’s disappearance.
